The Feminine Imaginary Series

Mari Hernandez

To support the production of a new series of self-portraits by Mari Hernandez incorporating new photographic techniques and the further development of her work’s aesthetic through the study of surrealist methods. Hernandez’s process entails visually articulating her experience as a woman of Mexican-American descent, often via a Chicana Feminist lens. This body of work is rooted in representation and the normalization of women of color in the contemporary art world.
